Curly hairstyles for men aren't as known as those hairstyles for straight hair, but they're certainly there. The main issue with curly hair for men as we've covered in great detail in our forum is that curly hair (i.e. wavy, coiled or kinky) will stand up (instead of hang down) at short to medium-long lengths of hair. What this means, unfortunately, is that most medium curly hairstyles for men rely on making good use of the visual bulk created by the curls across the head.

Curly Hair Men Styles for Medium Length Curls

We'd like to take this thread and turn it into a big gallery for medium hairstyles for curly men. By all means feel free to check out our curly hairstyles guide with pictures for more ideas as well as any of our wavy hairstyles guides that we've posted in the forum. However, with this thread, what we want to do is turn it into a hub-spot of medium-hairstyle ideas as well as advice that any of you may require.

Before continuing, it's imperative that we quickly go through what are the hair lengths for men since most guy are unaware of the ranges of hair lengths that exist for the many different men's hairstyles.

Near-shaved hair: this is the shortest hair length possible for men. From shaved up to a shot buzz cut haircut length.

Short hair: from a short buzz-cut length to 2 inches of hair length.

Medium-length hair: from 2 inches to 6 inches of hair length. This is the most-aesthetic hair length for most curly males.

Long hair: over 6 inches of hair length. By this length, men's curly hair will be weighed down (i.e. hang down) via its own weight instead of stand up as per the previous 3 hair length categories.

Right, now that we've gotten that out of the way, it's visual hair-styling time!

The best medium hairstyles for curly hair have the curls trimmed neatly!

At the barbershop, it never ceases to impress me how many curly guys are uninformed about the many hairstyles that can be achieved for curly hair with some creativity.

Medium Curly Hairstyles Tips

Two good rules of thumbs to follow for medium-length curly hairstyles:

If you're going to keep the hair on the top messy and voluptuous, then keep the sides and back of the head neatly trimmed or buzzed. A good short haircut at the barbershop will do you wonders to accentuate the aesthetics of your curly men, so long as you've taken good care of it by using a good leave-in conditioner!

If instead you want curly-hair volume all across the head, then keep the hair across the scalp at an even length. I usually recommend a maximum of 2 inches between the longest curly locks (usually at the top) and shortest curly locks (usually at the sides and back of the head).

Following the above-two rules of thumbs (barber-recommended) will help you immensely in achieving a good aesthetic curly hairstyle as per the many found on this gallery.

Some of the hairstyles below are what we call "medium-long" hairstyles as the hair is bordering the long-length category and it starts to hang down as the growing curly locks weigh too much to continue to defy gravity.

I suppose many of you watch The Walking Dead and know of Andrew Lincoln aka Rick Grimes' hair: long and curly. I just saw some photos of his hair wavy and it looks great.

How does one go about creating the wavy look he has on these photos. I want the same thing. I have a straightener, but I don't want it to become straight, I want it like his on the photos: wavy and natural looking
